I only singed up three days ago and I have appraently viewed over 1200 plants. In reality I've viewed no plants. This may be a glich but to me there could be gliches with my personal details also. So I leaving.

Last year I ordered some plants and plugs from D.T.Brown. After a few weeks two plants of a pack of five were showings signs of wilting (ie. death). I phoned the company and no problem within two weeks I had a replacement pack of five not just the two that did eventually die. There was no quible or send the dead plants back, they just required my order number and there they were. So that's one good company.

Check out the Real Seed Company website. It is full of OCA information from growing to cooking. I grew them last year and after the first frost wait about two or more weeks as that is when they grow the most, then harvest.As it has been reasonably mild lately I harvested the last OCA early January 2014 and the were good and larger than the earlier harvest despite the leaves and stems havingdied off from the frost of October. I'll replant more this year although I think they may be off putting to some people.

Well, as a gardener trying to buy some software to assist me in growing vegetables, is there anybody who has used any Vegetable Gardening Software? If so, what did you think? I need something that will inform me as to when to do things like add compost, lime etc. Preferably being able to tick the items off when completed.
